Yeah Nah Pasaran! #201 w Chris Wilson on the Christchurch terrorist, Australia & 4chan : March 28, 2024

This week on Yeah Nah Pasaran! on 3CR we talk to Chris Wilson [X/Twitter]. Chris is the co-founder and director of Hate & Extremism Insights Aotearoa (HEIA) and a Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at the University of Auckland. Along with his colleagues Ethan Renner, Jack Smylie and Michal Dziwulski, Chris has been researching the online activity of the Australian convicted of conducting the terrorist attacks on mosques in Christchurch on March 15, 2019. The fifth anniversary of the murderous assaults received little to no attention in Australian media and politics but it remains an important event, and Chris & Co. maintain that through ‘placing his online posting against his other online and offline activities, we gain a far more complete picture of the path to his attack’; further, it’s critical to appreciate that ‘his online community played a role in his radicalisation’.

#LetWomenSpeak (2023) ~vs~ #WomenWillSpeak (2024) in Naarm/Melbourne

[Update (March 26, 2024) : Self-described ‘nationalist’ speaks at anti-trans rights rally on Victoria parliament steps, Benita Kolovos, The Guardian, March 26, 2024. TLDR : Mr Trihey denies being a neo-Nazi and apologises for drawing undue attention to his presence on the day.]

Matt Trihey of the ‘National Workers Alliance’ addresses the ‘Women Will Speak’ anti-trans rally, Naarm/Melbourne, March 23, 2024.

Yeah so anyway, Michelle Uriarau (AKA the co-founder of the ‘Women’s Action Group’ and ‘Mana Wāhine Kōrero’) organised an anti-trans rally on Saturday on the steps of the Victorian state parliament. Scheduled to coincide with the first anniversary of the 2023 stoopid and titled ‘Women Will Speak’ — M’lady’s publicity stunt was titled ‘Let Women Speak’ — the rally was, predictably, a somewhat farcical affair, and produced pretty much what you’d expect it would: a smol gathering of TERFs, sympathisers, a large number of supportive cookers, and a handful of known neo-Nazis and other ‘interesting’ Volk.

Along, of course, with a shedload of police and a mildly-rowdy, quite-noisy and somewhat-disruptive counter-rally.

(Note that police arrested two attendees for wandering in the direction of the rally while shouting for nazis to go away. These scenes of incredible carnage naturally triggered calls by various members of the commentariat for more police and more police powers.)

The most prominent neo-Nazis to attend Uriarau’s event were a bloke called Matt Trihey and another known as ‘Philfy’. Herr Trihey is currently the lvl boss of a NEW! neo-Nazi groupuscule called the ‘National Workers Alliance’ (NWA). It shares the anxieties of others with regards the subversion of the gendered order by unruly members of various LGBTQIA+ communities and it was in this capacity that, in order to ensure that he and other supporters of ‘Women Will Speak’ could be heard over the protestations of the counter-rally, Trihey kindly provided his PA to a grateful Urirarau. Beyond this, Mr. Trihey is also a former MMA and member of the defunct neo-Nazi groupuscule ‘The Lads Society’ (for whom he provided some martial arts training). In the last few years, however, Trihey’s played a more prominent role in local cooker organising, whose weekly tramps through the city on a Saturday condemning #DictatorDan and proclaiming their commitment to freedumbs from Big Pharma often end at the steps of parliament and its environs.

As for The Lads Society, it was established on the ruins of the ‘United Patriots Front’ and dissolved towards the end of 2019 following the collapse of its ‘social club’ in Cheltenham. From the ashes of The Lads, its lvl boss Tom Sewell then created the European Australian Movement/National Socialist Network, which also incorporated members of the similarly defunct ‘Antipodean Resistance’ and various other tiny neo-Nazi fractions. Both Sewell and The Lads gained some smol notoriety for trying to recruit the Christchurch killer, and while that event has largely been forgotten in Australia, its fifth anniversary was just a week ago. In any case, like Trihey & Co. this year, Sewell and the EAM/NSN attended Lady Parker’s publicity stunt last year both in order to help women speak but also to get their very important message across (albeit rather more crudely than other attendees):

More generally, while Victorian state MP David Limbrick was present, fellow MP (and anti-abortion activist) Moira Deeming was absent this year. Of course, Deeming is suing Victorian Liberals lvl boss John Pesutto for defamation for allegedly calling her a ‘nazi’, so this was probably for the best. Still, in this context, it’s worth considering Deeming’s address to Warren Mundine’s ‘Conservative Political Action Conference’ last year, because:

a) Lady Parker obtained support from CPAC for the tour (see also : Dave Pellowe/Church And State);
b) Despite their attendance at and support for Parker’s event, Deeming took the opportunity at CPAC to declare that the NSN are ‘socialists’ and therefore indistinguishable from the other ‘socialists’ who opposed their presence on the day. For intellectual support for this position see also Peter van Onselen, Concetta Fierravanti-Wells and Over 9,000 right-wing bloggers. For a refutation by people who can read, see Nazism, socialism and the falsification of history (Matt Fitzpatrick and A. Dirk Moses, ABC Religion & Ethics, August 20, 2018);
c) The conference she spoke at was sponsored by Christian nationalist crowdfunder ‘Give Send Go’, which the NSN has used to raise tens of thousands of dollars to support these and other actions (see, for example, Prosecutor seeks jail for neo-Nazis who attacked hikers in Victorian bush, Kristian Silva, ABC, March 22, 2024 and Nazis in Sydney : Groundhog Day, January 30, 2024).

In my view, last year’s anti-trans stoopid outside the Victorian parliament helped to reinforce a real split between ‘liberals’ and ‘conservatives’ within the Victorian Liberals, and seems to have played no small role in accelerating a decline in the party’s fortunes (as well as creating a lawyer’s picnic).

And oh yeah.

Phillip Simpson (AKA ‘Philfy’) is a batshit nazi from Queensland, whom I last recall from threatening to arrange for local (?!) members of the Ukrainian Azov Assault Brigade to destroy an anti-fascist gig in Naarm last year. (Reader, they did not attend.) You may also remember Philfy from such headlines as Video: Watch the moment a Logan man live streams own arrest outside shopping centre (Danielle Buckley, The Courier Mail, July 1, 2021).

On the day, Philfy wore a tee that proclaimed that he was a ‘Real Woman’ on the front and a member of a ‘Right Wing Death Squad’ on the back. Oddly, besides dictators like Augusto Pinochet and mass murderers like Mauricio Garcia, another fan of RWDS is Timmeh! Wilms of far-right propaganda network The UnHinged. Timmeh! once hosted a vodcast with cooker, ex-Proud Boy, ex-NSN member, sometime-rapper and now (?) Fink Jarrad ‘Jaz’ Searby, but also, happily enough, was afforded the opportunity to interview Deeming about the ‘March for the Babies’ a few years ago (another right-wing rally to attract the participation and support of neo-Nazis, White supremacists and other fascist bizarr0s).

Finally, also in attendance (and attracting some negative attention from elements of the counter-rally) was Shayne W, better known as the cooker/livestreamer ‘Auditing Australia’.

More later …

Lady Parker & Co. ~vs~ John Pesutto


It’s been 12 months since the English grifter known as Lady Posie Parker staged an anti-trans rally and publicity stunt outside the Victorian state parliament. This was the rally/stunt at which, notoriously, she was joined — ‘gatecrashed’, in Australian media parlance — by Tom Sewell and members of his National Socialist Network. You may remember them from such episodes as ‘Don’t Go To Sydney’ and ‘Good Luck, Gentlemen’.

See : “Posie Parker, you can’t hide. You’ve got Nazis on your side.” and Who were the neo-Nazis at Posie Parker’s rally in Melbourne?.

Having been booted from the party room in the aftermath of this extraordinary performance, Moira Deeming MP is currently suing Victorian Liberals party leader John Pesutto for defamation (TLDR: ‘He called me a Nazi’). Today, it was announced that Deeming will be joined by Parker and rally organiser Angie Jones. Reportedly, they’ll be represented in court by failed Tory candidate for Warringah (2022) Katherine Deves.

Statement by anti-fascists in (so-called) Australia on the fifth anniversary of the Christchurch attack of March 15, 2019



Anti-fascists gathered in a number of Australian cities yesterday to mark the fifth anniversary of the Christchurch massacre and issued the following statement:

Five years on, we gathered across ‘Australia’ to honour the victims and survivors of the terrorist attack on Ōtautahi/Christchurch mosques by Australian neo-Nazi Brenton Tarrant on 15 March 2019. We express our solidarity with Muslims in Aotearoa New Zealand and in ‘Australia’, where we recognise a dangerous climate of increasing Islamophobia and anti-Arab hatred. Tarrant was first radicalised here in Australia in a similar climate. The neo-Nazis who he donated to and who tried to recruit him, continue to operate with impunity. Confronting fascism, Nazism and racism in our cities and towns remains our duty as antifascists.

Ahad Nabi, son of the martyr Haji-Daoud Nabi (who greeted the terrorist with “Hello, brother” and was then gunned down) gave this victim impact statement in 2020:

“You deserve to be buried in a landfill. This world was created with colour, a peasant like you will never change the human race. Your wish is to make this world a racist cult of one colour, but you will never succeed…I ask that he be put in mainstream prison and stop wasting taxpayer money on giving him special treatment and protection. And coming back to this maggot, I would like to say that my 71-year-old dad would have broke you in half if you challenged him to a fight. But you are weak, a sheep with a wolf’s jacket on, for only ten minutes of your whole life. I’m strong, and you made me even stronger. Allahu Akbar.”

Yeah Nah Pasaran! #199 w Dr Claudia Leeb on Contesting the Far Right : March 14, 2024

    Next week’s episode of Yeah Nah Pasaran! will be our 200th. We’ll be doing some kinda AMA so if you have any questions you’d like answered, feel free to ask. All previous episodes are available for listening on the 3CR website or by way of your favourite (Apple, Spotify etc.) podcasting platform.

This week on Yeah Nah Pasaran! on 3CR we talk to Dr Claudia Leeb. Claudia is an Associate Professor in the School of Politics, Philosophy, and Public Affairs at Washington State University and works at the intersection of early Frankfurt school critical theory, feminist political theory, and psychoanalytic theory to address questions of power and socio-political change in contemporary societies. Claudia is also the author of the forthcoming title Contesting the Far Right: A Psychoanalytic and Feminist Critical Theory Approach (Columbia University Press, 2024):

Why have so many people responded to the insecurity, exploitation, alienation, and isolation of precarity capitalism by supporting the far right? In this timely book, Claudia Leeb argues that psychoanalytic and feminist critical theory illuminates how economic and psychological factors interact to produce this extreme political shift.

We spoke to Claudia about the book and how critical theory and psychoanalytic approaches to the far right can help illuminate our responses, Austria and identitarianism, Trump and the AltRight.

antifa notes (march 1, 2024) : nazi gym metal feelings place

No-go nazi gymbros!

Last month, Brimbank council announced that the lease on Tim Lutze’s Legacy Boxing Gym in Sunshine West had expired and would not be renewed. Used for several years by the National Socialist Network (NSN) as a training centre and sometime headquarters, the group now seeks a new home.

Speaking of the NSN, after parading through Sydney in late January, the NSN lvl boss, Tom Sewell, was treated to a rather odd profile in The Daily Telegraph in early February. Hence: ‘As more is uncovered about the leader of Australia’s neo-Nazi movement, it can be revealed Thomas Sewell was once in business with Asian men.’ TLDR: in 2016, Sewell, James Buckle and two Asian men established a company known as Compass One Pty Ltd. The company formally ceased operations on March 15, 2019: a rather infamous date (especially for Kiwis like Sewell). Of the 2019 massacre (Christchurch terrorist posted publicly about plans before attack, Mark Daadler, newsroom, February 20, 2024): ‘A small team of researchers at the University of Auckland has found years of posts from the terrorist behind the March 15, 2019 attack on two Christchurch mosques, disproving the notion that he had not been active on extremist forums’.

The Daily Telegraph article also notes that in 2022 the Balwyn Gauleiter established a roofing and plumbing business. This news is sure to delight the plumbers’ union (PPTEU), whose successful campaign to overturn a proposed ban on duck hunting — one spearheaded by their comrades in the ETU — also generated support by Sewell’s erstwhile comrade Mr Buckle.

H e a v y metal

A few weeks ago (February 10), a heavy metal gig at the Leadbeater in Richmond was cancelled. Featuring Grave Upheaval, Cemetery Urn, Munitions, Petrol and Cult of the Night, the show also starred a band called Haste, formerly known as Gurn, one closely associated with NS/BM label and distro Australibus Tenebris. The cancellation triggered the usual response from upset consumers but — on a brighter, shinier, happier note — I understand that there’s Over 666 metal gigs happening in Naarm/Melbourne in any given year, so fingers crossed those frowns will, eventually, be turned upside-down.

Or not.

Coincidentally, triple j’s ‘Hack’ has published a piece on the Dark side of metal (April McLennan, February 28, 2024). It refers to a number of bands, including Ignis Gehenna, Spear of Longinus and (quasi-metal) Black Magick SS. Weirdly, while reference is made to a failed attempt by the NSN to disrupt an anti-fascist benefit gig in September last year, no positive connection is made between this incident and elsewhere in the article when reference is made to the same mob of Hitler Yoof marching through Sydney (and through Ballarat in December last year).

All The McFeels

In the United States, ‘Jazzhands McFeels’, host of the ‘Fash the Nation’ podcast on the ‘The Right Stuff’ (TRS) neo-Nazi propaganda network, was recently revealed as being a 41-year-old ex-Republican rich kid called Robert Warren Gasiewicz of Stuart, Florida. You may remember TRS from such luminaries as Mike Peinovich (‘Mike Enoch’) or its abortive political project, the ‘National Justice Party’ (NJP). The implosion of the NJP — a batshit outfit well-regarded by the bRanes trust at David Hiscox’s recently-revived neo-Nazi blog XYZ — is examined by the hosts of another podcast, ‘I Don’t Speak German’, who’ve returned to the virtual airwaves with an episode dedicated to the NJP’s collapse: ‘We’re back. It’s cool. What isn’t cool is the National Justice Party. Because it doesn’t exist any more. And it wasn’t cool when it did. It was shit. And that’s why … well, listen to the episode.’ See also : This Podcaster Dug Into the World of Neo-Nazis. Now They’ve Put a Target on Him., Nick R. Martin, The Daily Beast, October 20, 2019.

Mein Place

Tomorrow, local cooker Darren Bergwerf will discover whether or not his brave stance in favour of truth and freedom will see him finally assume his rightful place in the Victorian parliament … or be usurped by the dastardly Victorian Socialists.

Yeah Nah Pasaran! #197 w Arun Kundnani on What is Antiracism? And Why it Means Anticapitalism : February 29, 2024

This week on Yeah Nah Pasaran! on 3CR we talk to Arun Kundnani [Twitter/X] on his latest book What is Antiracism? And Why it Means Anticapitalism (Verso, 2023):

Today, liberal antiracism has proven powerless against structural oppression. As Arun Kundnani demonstrates, white liberals can heroically confront their own whiteness all they want, yet these structures remain.

This deeply researched and swift-moving narrative history tells the story of the two antiracisms and their fates. As neoliberalism reordered the world in the last decades of the twentieth century, the case became clear: fighting racism means striking at its capitalist roots.
